...and we riding up north...
...and pushing up north...
...rushhour...
...some "stopps" on the way up north...
... some mud up north...
...before we reach Burkina Faso and the "Grand Mosque" in Bobo Dioulasso...
...water is not the only problem in Burkina Faso,
which is said to be the 3rd poorest country in the world...
The bikes are working, but we have nearly every day some mechanical problems,

...and it is bloody hot again...

AntwortenLöschenGood to see & know some more about your trip.
AntwortenLöschenCan you imagine, can-you-ima-gine that I sit front of a computer, without even a drop of beer, and even work, yes, work, and even post mails, serious ones, with signatures and so.
Was good meeting you - P. / Ségou
